Wadi Kings Pro mid-match: a large river-delta valley full of troops, towns and buildings, with gold, food and turn 14 of 40 at the top
1

Every turn is a real decision

Gold builds and trains. Food feeds your army every turn, and starving soldiers desert. Spend on farms, mines, markets, towers and walls, or on spearmen, archers, riders and catapults. Grow too fast and your army goes hungry. Grow too slow and the enemy is at your gates.

Capture villages, expand your towns for a bigger army and upgrade buildings to Level II for double yield. Raid enemy farms and mines to take their income, and race for the Old Wells: treasure for the first to arrive.

A Classic match: farms, mines and towns on a small valley map, a rider selected with its reachable tiles lit, and gold and food at the top

Wadi Kings Pro: a valley 4× bigger

Switch to Pro on the home screen for a 16×20 valley, 16 troops in four families and 16 buildings. Barracks, archery ranges, stables, siege workshops and the war academy unlock new troops, from crossbowmen and camel riders to knights and the ballista.

Four map themes (Oasis, River Delta, Great Erg, Highlands) and 40-turn matches against the computer, from Easy to a truly Hard opponent. On iPad you see the whole valley at once. Your first Pro match is free.

Combat with nothing hidden

Every attack shows the exact damage before you confirm. No dice behind a curtain, no "it should have worked". Tap the wrong thing? Undo. Forgot who beats whom? The army guide is one tap away.

Our fair-play promise

What you will never see

  • ✕No ads. Not between turns, not after a win, not ever.
  • ✕No energy, no timers. Play ten matches in a row if you like.
  • ✕No pay-to-win. Nothing you can buy makes a unit stronger or a turn faster.
  • ✓Free to play in the app and in your browser, with no account: Desert Riders and River Farmers, campaign chapter 1, the daily map, Easy and Normal skirmishes, friend matches online and on one phone, one Pro match, and one free match with each locked people and with Hard.

Questions, answered

Is it really free?

Yes. The iPhone and iPad app and the browser version are free to play, with no ads, no energy and no timers. On iPhone and iPad you can buy optional one-time unlocks (the Kingdom Pass, Wadi Kings Pro, single peoples or Patron) if you want more or want to support the game. There are no subscriptions, and nothing you buy makes a unit stronger in a fight.

What is Wadi Kings Pro?

The big version for strategy fans: a 16×20 valley, 16 troops, 16 buildings that unlock new troops, four map themes and 40-turn matches against the computer. Switch to it on the home screen of the iPhone and iPad app. Your first Pro match is free; after that it is a one-time purchase that also includes the Kingdom Pass.

Does it work offline?

Single-player modes, including skirmishes and the campaign, work offline once the game has loaded. Matches against a friend need an internet connection to send and receive turns.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes, in portrait and landscape, and in Wadi Kings Pro the iPad shows the whole valley at once. In the browser, Classic also runs on Android phones and tablets, Macs and PCs.

Is it in Arabic?

Fully. Every screen, the army guide and the campaign are in Arabic with a right-to-left layout. Switch any time from the menu, or start at ملوك الوادي.

How long is a match?

About 10 to 15 minutes on a small map against the computer. Friend matches take as long as you both like, since each of you plays a turn whenever it suits you.

How do I play against a friend?

Tap Play a friend, then Create a game, and send the 6-letter code or link. Your friend opens it on any phone, tablet or browser. No account is needed on either side. Sitting together? Tap Play on one phone and pass the phone between turns.

Your kingdom is waiting

Fifteen minutes. No ads. Just you, your people and one rival capital.
